This place is beautiful! I love the design of the hotel. The staff are extremely nice and helpful! Breakfast was delicious with a few different options to choose from! The location is perfect as many restaurants are within walking distance and the hotel is 5-10 mins from the airport. I would stay here again!

We booked our stay here because it was close to the Airport, had good reviews and pictures of the rooms on their listing looked well equipped and comfortable. While the entrance and reception areas were nice, but that was all.

Hotel Robledal provided the perfect ending to our Costa Rica trip, as we spent our final night here before flying back home the next day. The hotel's location is very convenient, just 15 minutes from the airport, and they offer a free shuttle service upon request (before noon), which made our departure hassle-free.
Everything you need to settle down and enjoy your final (our first) moments in Costa Rica is available at Hotel Robledal. The hotel offers a range of amenities, and we found it to be well-equipped for a comfortable stay.
The restaurant at the hotel exceeded our expectations, offering delicious dinner and breakfast options with plenty of variety to choose from. We appreciated the quality of the food and the attentive service provided by the staff.
Our room was beautiful and spacious, with a great bed and effective air conditioning, ensuring a restful night's sleep before our journey home. While our stay was brief, we couldn't find any issues or negatives with Hotel Robledal. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a convenient and comfortable accommodation near the airport.

I think most travelers would not spend more than two nights in Alajuela- 1 inbound and 1 outbound.
I spent 5+2 nights in Alajuela while I was getting ready for my family members' visits spread over a few days.
Our "suburban" enclave was up-to-date with modern facilities, and close to Alajuela near the Freeway 1.
The location where we stayed was "authentic" with a tiny super, a cute bakery, a soda, and the most delightful neighbors.
I could almost stay to learn the language. :0

I stayed pretty close to a large shopping mall--just a few blocks away--so the restaurant options were great. I ate at "Mahalo"--great poke! The house is within a few miles of the airport, so getting there only cost 3 colones, and I took a Tuasa bus (for about two dollars) to get to Alajuela from downtown San Jose. The only "negative" is that there were traffic sounds, but they settled down when it got later. I would definitely stay in Alajuela again. I felt completely safe walking back alone at night after dinner.

The area is fun and easy to get around.
The area is fun and easy to get around. There are many small stores, but no good supermarkets. TONS of cafes and fast food places, so getting something to eat is easy. I'd go there again, but there's not a ton to do unless you enjoy sitting in parks, which I do.

I only walked around the immediate area of the hotel . I had no need to explore the town as I had a demanding schedule upon arrival and prior to departure . This was just super convenient to the airport.

It’s the best location to stay on your first night,...
It’s the best location to stay on your first night, especially if you arrive in the evening and don’t have an “all inclusive“ vacation booked; and best location for your last night in Costa Rica, due to the proximity to the airport.
Be warned, the red taxis are really expensive and Uber drivers are allowed to drop you off at the airport, but are not allowed to pick you up from the airport. Most places that offer accommodation, also offer a pickup service from the airport. Take it. The closer to the airport, the cheaper they get; prices start at $5 and could get to $35, $40 US dollars , depending on the distance to the airport.
Most rental cars offices are around the airport, so, look for a place to stay not too far away from the airport and one that offers drop off to a rental car office. If not, it’s always an Uber driver available. The closer to the airport, the better, for first and last night stay, because driving in the city could take a veeeeeery long time.
If you have time, walk the streets of Alajuela, people are very friendly and ready to help. Be very careful, the water tranches along the pedestrian walkways, are very deep, and the holes on the uneven pavement are deep as well, but definitely go to the city’s fresh market; it is a very interesting experience. Make sure you calculate well the prices, from corones into dollars, lots of vendors will try to take advantage of you, if you don’t pay attention. You can pay in US dollars everywhere, except for buses (long distance or local buses); the dollar bills must be pristine, one little tear anywhere on the bill, will be refused.
All in all is a nice city full of hustle and bustle, with lots of cars and people, with little parks with amazing trees, lots of perrots, delicious fresh fruits and gelatos
Genuine Costa Rican neighborhood about ten minutes from airport. There is a well stocked kitchen and a grocery store and ATM two blocks away. Official red taxi from airport should be $8 for a car $12 for a van and some take credit cards. Or call Uber from the departures level (one level higher). Note that you will have to help navigate your driver to the hotel, as there is no sign on the door. It's worth spending some time in Alajuela, as you can Uber to the Starbucks farm or take the bus from Alajuela to Volcano Poas.
One of the best hostels I ever stayed at.
The family is so welcoming, kind and helpful, it feels like being at home. I never experienced this in a hostel before.
The small backyard is cosy, beautiful and a nice place to get some rest after/before a flight.
The beds are very comfortable, the lunch and dinner are homemade and delicious. They picked me up and dropped me off at the airport (and it was very early!), a huge thank you. I will for sure stay there again if I come back to Costa Rica.
It was a good typical breakfast. The pool was lovely and the view spectacular. The staff were friendly. Not their issue that the rooms shown when booking are not the room given on arrival. They are doing their best. This place has huge potential if managed correctly. Money needs to be invested. The Mirador del Valle restaurant is 300 meters from hotel. Same gorgeous view, excellent service and the food was amazing.
Excellent Location near airport (hotel paid for taxi) I my particular booking.
Super clean hotel, roo.s are older outdated rooms- yet super clean, just needs updating.
Amazing location, walkable Everywhere.
Breakfast is good, enjoyed panini grill.
Pool needs to circulate more often to be clearer.
Excellent service, friendly staff.
This is a luxury hotel!! Everything is very upscale and classy. Love that the rooms are light, bright, airy, and minimalist. Beautiful bathrooms, beautiful lobby, AMAZING complementary breakfast (huge). Staff is sooooo nice and accommodating. I loved my stay here and wish I was staying for a few more nights.
Hotel Aeropuerto is new the San Jose, Costa Rica airport (SJO). The staff is very helpful and friendly. They helped carry my luggage to my room and are always cheerful. The layout of the hotel is nice and the grounds and lobby are very nice. Beds are nice and comfortable. AC was handy.
Very nice garden where you can even spot colibris. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The hotel is in the center of Alajuela, close to the central market and the bus terminal, it is perfect for people arriving or departing from the airport. The breakfast is included and is tasty.
Perfect for a one-night stay before an early departure or after a late arrival at San Jose-Alajuela Airport
We even returned our rental car directly at the Hotel.
The free of charge shuttle service is very well organised.
Breakfast with a great choice and good quality.
It’s my preferred place for first and last night in Costa Rica. Alajuela is much nicer than San José and the hotel is in a very convenient location. Balcony rooms are preferable as long as you don’t mind stairs. The water is filtered and UV treated, so totally safe.
The staff was welcoming and helpful, the hotel was spotlessly clean and welcoming, the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast in the garden was lovely. Walkable to anything we wanted to see in Alajuela
Perfect Hotel if you just arrived in Alajuela/SJO and want to travel north/Poas/Catarata del Toro.
